Probably play Valorant, slackline in the park, read a book (Pain Free as of recently), and cook some food for the week.

I'd like to cut back due to the negative impact it's had on my sleep and general motivation. I've found that daily smoking really reduces the quality of my sleep, which means 8 hours of sleep with THC in my system is closer to 5-6 hours. As far as motivation goes, the dopamine release from THC really reduces my drive and makes me more content/complacent than I would like to be. As a note, my total intake is really low (less than 1 gram every three months), but I still feel like I shouldn't feel obligated to smoke on a daily/weekly basis.

Hah I feel you on the smoking, with vape pens it's almost too easy to take a quick hit here and there. Cutting back weed is probably number 1 on my resolutions for next year.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but I'm really curious about the TypeScript hate. Besides some odd type mapping here and there, I've really enjoyed using it over plain old JS.

How would you be able to pull out any information out of an audio recording of keyboard typing? Wouldn't the training set differ between keyboards too? Sounds interesting it it worked, do you have any sources?

Name and shame.

Not directly answering you question, but on a similar note, would you be more willing to use the "free version" of these tools if they did the following:

  - Explain what data they share
  - Explain who they're sharing the data with
  - Give full control over what data is shared
  - Give the ability to easily delete/export your data once you decide you no longer want to use the application

My interest in FIRE can really be boiled down to this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJjKP8vYjpQ

I'm on board and actively pursing FIRE. I'm not sure if I'll actually choose to retire when I hit the magic number (~20x your yearly expenses), but it does provide me with a sense of satisfaction and stability.

I think a lot of the FIRE community over evangelizes the "RE" portion of FIRE, but that may just be a reflection of the high stress/high pay types of jobs that many FIRE pursuers find themselves in.

Sounds like it's time to look elsewhere. The fact that this "huge push" wasn't made clear to you prior to the promotion process sounds like your manager really dropped the ball.

Whore's Glory - Extremely raw documentary that gives an inside look into the lives of prostitutes from various countries (Bangladesh, Thailand, Mexico). It was seriously fucked up and eye opening.

I struggle with cronic injuries. Over the years I've accumulated a few different injuries to my shoulder, back and knee which put me in a constant state of pain. It's not debilitating but it is relentless. I'm always around a 3/10 on my pain scale, which just means I'm always uncomfortable. I can manage with stretching and some targeted exercises, but generally my injuries do not subside.

One of the ways I learned was through examples provided by Apple. What I would do is download the example, see how it worked and then change something small. Once I fully understood how that feature/component/class worked I would re-implement it with whatever logic I wanted to use in my own application.

This has worked for pretty much any mobile project I've done. I'm currently doing the same thing with ARKit + Vision framework.

Definitely. While you're at it maybe you could throw in handwriting pointers too. I've found my handwriting has become drastically worse after college.

This is pretty interesting. Did you ever have to interact/view the content?

I almost took a job at a porn company (streaming based) but declined not due to ethical concerns but rather due to the fact that I got a bad vibe from the CEO (he seemed like an ass).

Wow that app is exactly what me & my friends have been looking for. They even started hacking together an Android version of this. Looks really well done!

One question: Do you plan on writing a native desktop solution? I'm not a fan of having to keep my browser open just to run a single app.

I'd pay $10k to figure out what exactly is wrong with my body. I've had constant injuries or issue with my shoulder, knee, and back for the past 5 years. Feels like I'm falling apart due to old age but I'm not even past 25 yet.

I always question the 'business decision' to not write tests. How did management justify this point to the developers? Was there any push back?

I ask because our business team has a similar stance on developers writing tests (i.e. it's not worth the effort).

Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer.

It goes into detail about the Mount Everest disaster in the 90s.

I generally don't drink coffee, it makes me jittery and anxious.

Alcohol...once a month but in large quantity. Usually go on a bender while barhopping/at a party with friends. Definitely need to shake that habit.
